Boston, Massachusetts [Tuesday evening]

It was a beautiful sunset today just around dinner, so it was a perfect excuse for go for a long walk, enjoy the weather, and find something warm and hearty to eat for dinner. Or you could snuggle into hotel-provided bathrobes, order in room service, and find a Halloween movie to scare yourself with. Or or you could go on the school-sponsored Ghosts in the Graveyard tour and then spend the night with the lights on, absolutely convinced you brought a ghost back with you.

The narrative does not judge any of these options.

HOTEL

[personal profile] heroic_jawline 2021-10-12 05:50 pm (UTC)(link)
We're spending the week at the five-star/five diamond Boston Harbor Hotel. Hotel luxuries include a private health-club style spa and fitness center, award-winning dining, and a full-service 34-slip marina. You know, in case you brought your spare yacht.

You're on your own to find restaurants and clubs and bars, but the school has set up an event a night if you'd rather stay with the group!

Rooms 10/12

[personal profile] heroic_jawline 2021-10-12 05:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Students' deluxe rooms have windows out over downtown Boston, and their chaperones' premier rooms have views out over the marina and into Boston Harbor. The rooms come equipped with all the amenities and two full beds or one king depending on which is funnier.

[OOC: Room assignments are here, NSFW goes into private journals, yada yada.]

Food 10/12

Well, you definitely won't starve this week, even if you never leave the hotel. Rowes Wharf Sea Grille offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner with both indoor and outdoor seating. Its afternoon tea is also extremely popular. You can also go for drinks and snacks at the Rowes Wharf Bar starting at 4pm. Or you can stay up in your room and order in.

Amenities 10/12

Whether its the 60-foot lap pool, the Pelaton bikes and yoga classes you're all dying to try out, or the spa, the hotel has your fitness needs covered. The gym is open 24 hours, which is very helpful for you insomniac health nuts. Dwight.

Ghosts and Gravestones Tour

[personal profile] heroic_jawline 2021-10-12 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
Ride the Trolley of the Doomed to burial grounds nearly 400 years old, listen to the scary ghost stories of the graveyard, and look out for a ghostly encounter! Your 17th Century gravedigger tour guide (probably an actor. Probably) is dying to tell you tales of Boston’s dead in their own unusual way.

Find a place to eat, a place to drink, a place to hang, and tell us where you are!

Tempting though it was to order room service, Irene could hardly resist the siren call of a good deal on scotch and oysters.

She made her way down to the bar resplendent in a fairly-casual-for-her cashmere ensemble, and posted up with her drink and her oysters. And, sure, ended up spending more time than she probably needed to chatting with the bartender, but between the pair of accents on display, there bad been quite a lot of, 'No, wait, how do you say that? ' back-and-forth.

"The Trolley of the Doomed." Look, Faye had wanted to do this already, but the signage just kept making it better. "Oh, man, I've never met a ghost before."

She also maybe thought it was real.

It turned out that Goose was enjoying these different tours and he’d never done a ghost tour so that ended up being something different to experience.
stykera: (ok)

"I have," Stark told her. "A few. Never in Boston."

He did not expect any actual ghosts this evening but it could happen. He wasn't sure what he did expect but actual ghosts weren't on the list.

"Well, I haven't done much of anything in Boston," Faye pointed out. "But I've also never met a ghost in Fandom or on Mars or anything."

That she knew of.
stykera: (smirk)

Re: Ghosts and Gravestones Tour

[personal profile] stykera 2021-10-12 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
"I haven't done much here either," Stark pointed out. Which Faye probably knew very well.

"There was a ghost who was a teacher over the summer. But I didn't see any on Mars." Or on any moons that didn't need to be brought up at this time.

"How did you know they were a ghost?" Faye wondered. "Did they, like...make ghostly sounds? Wear a sheet?"

Anakin waved at them from his spot in the Trolley of the Doomed. Didn't you also want Anakin on your date, guys?

SO FUN.

Anakin could also see ghosts, so Anakin was going to be very sad if he didn't see any ghosts.
stykera: (a little unhappy)

[personal profile] stykera 2021-10-12 08:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Well now they really were doomed, weren't they? Or the date was. Maybe both.

Stark suppressed a sigh and gave Anakin a small wave back.
stykera: (mask again)

Re: Ghosts and Gravestones Tour

[personal profile] stykera 2021-10-12 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
"I...I just know." Stark shrugged and tapped his mask with one finger. "I can tell. No sheets, no noises, I just know."

Bob in a sheet would have been amusing though!

"Will you tell me if we see a real ghost, then?" Faye asked, tucking herself close and reaching up to also, affectionately, tap his mask. "Since I can't tell?"
stykera: (little smile)

Re: Ghosts and Gravestones Tour

[personal profile] stykera 2021-10-12 08:51 pm (UTC)(link)
"I'll tell you," Stark promised, turning to smile at her as he laid his arm over shoulders.

"And," he added as if making a very serious confession, "I promise not to scream."

"Rory never lets me heckle the tour guides," Anakin said in a tone that implied he'd definitely be doing it here, without supervision.
flourish_or_perish: ([an] midriff-y wistfulness)

Re: Ghosts and Gravestones Tour

[personal profile] flourish_or_perish 2021-10-12 08:56 pm (UTC)(link)
"Promise?" Faye repeated, having to look amused. "What if something surprising happens that has nothing to do with the ghosts?"

Boston could be full of surprises!
stykera: (looking sideways)

[personal profile] stykera 2021-10-12 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course he was going to do that. But that meant he was going to be a nice Jedi and not harass the poor glowy alien trying to have an evening out with his companion, right?

"You should have brought her with you."

"She had to be up in Stars Hollow helping with the amazing fall fest of something something I stopped listening," Anakin said.
